Stop Calling It A “Walk of Shame”

We’ve all been there; whether it’s from your boyfriend’s, your best friend’s, or a random guy you don’t even remember meeting at the bar. We make jokes to our friends, frantically texting them in the morning things like: “Just walked by a campus tour in my crop top and stilettos from last night.” I even won the “Miss Walk of Shame” award from my sorority freshman year because I was constantly sleeping at my boyfriend’s place and walking home the next day in obscenely inappropriate outfits for daylight hours.

But why do we still call it a walk of shame?

Are we really ashamed that we got some action last night?

Have you ever heard of guys doing a walk of shame? Granted, it is easier for them to blend in due to their generally unchanging wardrobe from day to night…but still. I like to use the term “stride of pride” personally, because I will never be ashamed that I got laid last night, and you shouldn’t either!

I will admit, we all have those nights that we might be questioning in the morning. Sometimes the guy you wake up next to looked a lot cuter in the dim lighting of the dive bar last night, sometimes you’re not even sure if you did get laid last night until some further examination.

However, I know you ladies are making good moves 90% of the time and waking up next to hotties, if you’re lucky even getting some morning sex before you leave (because there really isn’t a better way to start the day). Sometimes guys will offer to get breakfast, or offer to drive me home. This could be a personal thing, but unless I actually like the dude, I politely decline. I like the thrill of walking home and possibly seeing somebody I know, and the casual stares from productive members of society that have actually showered this morning.

Other phrases you may use for “walk of shame” include:
– The got laid parade
– Post-cock walk
– G-spot trot
– Just touched a butt strut
– Walk of Awesome

Ah, the joys of dating a guy with a tiger mom. You may have originally thought that dating a momma’s boy meant that he’d be a sweetheart, but it also means that his mom is involved in every mother-fucking aspect of his life. And now that you’re dating him, it means that she’s involved in

Sex on the first date has been the subject of debate for some time now. Some people swear that it never ends in a relationship, while others have no problem choosing to follow lust before love. Sex on the first date is a whole different ball game for men vs. women. Men are expected to want

Your parents are probably judgmental with your choices in baes, that’s what parents are for. They probably hated that skater boy drug dealer you dated in high school, and they probably weren’t so keen on that 40-year-old you casually dated when you were 22. But your idea of strict parental standards is probably nothing compared
